l'orée du bois

very, very bad experience at l’orée duboisrestaurant!
we reserve the day before to have a table on the terrace.
"yes, it's fine, it's reserved .. except if it rains, it will be inside"
the next day, arriving exactly at the agreed time, beautiful sunshine:
"here is your table (inside) !!! "
excuse me, but we booked on the terrace !!!!!!!
"sorry but there is no more table! "
we booked on the terrace! not in the back of the restaurant!
so we didn't get a table on the terrace .. and we didn't stay. before i go back there the earth will be flat!
we went to "mamma thérésa" next door. very good supper!

très très mauvaise expérience au resto l’orée du bois!
on réserve la veille pour avoir une table sur la terrasse.
« oui, ça va, c’est réservé.. sauf s’il pleut, se sera à l’intérieur »
le lendemain, arrivé pile à l’heure convenue beau soleil:
« voici votre table (à l’intérieur)!!! »
excusez-moi mais on a réservé sur la terrasse!!!!!!!
« désolé mais il n’y a plus de table! »
on a réservé sur la terrasse! pas dans le fin fond du resto!
on n’a donc pas eu une table sur la terrasse.. et nous ne sommes pas resté.
avant que j’y retourne la terre sera plate!
on est allé chez "mamma thérésa" juste à côté. très bon souper

food is ok but coming from a familly of france will tell you its basic french cuisine portions are small and dont expect to leave with a full stomach , the place needs to be redone entirely carpet is dirty and the rest is really out dated place was neglected for a long long time and on top of that the restaurant can get noisi and the menu lacks of choice ! i would not recomend , le pied de cochon feal more intimate and more welcoming and food is similar but better service , the l orée duboisis a place to eat and go ! cocktails drinks are not that good !! and the management could be way better i rate this place 2,5 on 5 stars , go to le baccara food is way better and the service is a real 5 stars .

si vous aimez vos plats très très salés.... je fus très déçue encore une fois... il est triste de voir une "institution" comme l'orée duboisperdre ce qui faisait sa renommée : un service hors pair et un menu classique français et savoureux, où l'utilisation des fines herbes et les sauces faisaient la distinction. au lieu de cela, un pain vieilli d'hier pour nous faire patienter, des plats hyper salés où on perd la saveur d'un cerf par ailleurs savoureux, et pour finir, la facture qui elle, se devait d'être salée! bien triste puisque j'aimais bien ce resto...

not impressed. i went to l'oree duboissunday, feb 15th as i had heard great reviews and decided to try it out for valentines day present to my boyfriend. i deliberately made the reservation for the day after valentines day as i figured it would not be as busy and we could still try the valentines menu. there was horrid sulphur type smell coming from the washroom area that was hard to ignore and the service was terrible. there was a set menu for the evening and yet our server was virtually non existent and it took at least 20 minutes from the time we asked for our bill to actually getting it so we literrally sat and stood with our jackets on trying to get the servers attention. the food was just ok. the appetizers were for sharing between two people with items that were meant to be spread on crostinis and yet they only gave one crostini per person. we maybe could have asked for more but again no service to even ask. i did like the fact that the chef was mingling with the guests and the atmosphere is quaint however given the food was just ok and the service was bad, i was very disappointed given the price of the meal.

wedding day glory. yesterday, we had our wedding celebration and meal at l'oree duboisand could not have had a more amazing and spectacular day. we had the celebration in the garden. the staff were extremely helpful and courteous and went out of their way to ensure everything was perfect. the meal we had was simply delicious as all of the guest commented. thank you so much for making this day truly special.

not to my expectations. went to l'oree duboisfor diner. the surroundings are nice but the inside is in need of a major renovations. with the amount they charge for a meal you would think they could afford decent chairs. the service is way to long, 3 1/2 hours for supper is to much. as for the food it did not meet my expectations. the bread was day old and the rest of the meal is nothing to brag about. if i would recommend this restaurant the answer is no.

outstanding. i went here over the weekend with my partner and we were both thrilled by this little gem. the service was fantastic and the food was exception. the menu is expansive and flexible and made the evening all the more enjoyable. i cannot wait to vist l'oree deboisagain! i will certainly encourage family and friends to make a visit, it is absolutely not to be missed!

this was a perfect spot for my birthday dinner, pleasing our pallets and the wallet of my dear friends. the service was friendly and efficient; and if we waited a bit too long between our appetizer and main, it was made up for by the food coming out hot and tasty and the easy conversation among friends. we left the restaurant discussing others who we should bring to l’orée duboisand p

always fantastic!!. we've been going to l'orée duboisfor about 15 years now, we make at least 1 or 2 visits per year, and even though we don't frequent restaurants all that often, we keep coming back here year after year! the food, and service and atmosphere are what keep bringing us back. we're going tomorrow night and i've been looking forward to it all week:)

a group of us went to l’orée duboisin chelsea last night. my first impression as i walked in was how cozy it seemed inside. dim lighting, warm and inviting, but much busier and larger than i expected from the outside.
